Why Does My Leg Hurt So Much

Why does my leg hurt after driving?

Could be that you’re keeping the leg tensed while driving. Just relax and when not using the accelerator, rest it flat on the ground so your muscles get some stretch from their flexed position.It will take a while to get used to this especially if driving for the first time in our stop and go traffic.Also try moving the car seat a little behind so your leg is not bent too much and your foot doesn’t have to flex too high. It should be at a comfortable slant when on the accelerator.

Why do my legs hurt so much?

Where is the pain happening exactly, and what is your general age?

Is the pain happening only within your muscles or is the pain occuring near or within the leg joints, such as knee, hip or ankle?

If you are young and having pain that can be quite different from if you are in your 40's or 50's and having pain. Older people are much more susceptible to certain injuries and arthritis.

For years I roller bladed a few miles every day. Like you, I didn't stretch first or after, but would if I had some pain and that would usually help.

When I first started skating, I kept getting pain in my leg muscles for the first weeks. And so I figured my legs simply weren't used to the demand. The solution was to take a few days off and give my leg muscles a rest. My legs recuperated & the pain stopped. I would then roller blade one day and take the next day or two off. After doing that for a month, my legs got stronger and I was then able to roller blade a few miles every day. Every now and then I would get a problem with a certain muscle or joint or tendon, and I would use different things like ice, rest, anti-inflamatory drug such as Advil for a while.

So if your pain is happening within your muslces, this could indicate your muscles need more rest. But if the pain is actually happening near or in your joints, then that could indicate a tendonitis or arthritis. Another possibiility is that you did some kind of damage. Try rest, probably the pain will go away, then resume your running gradually. If the pain doesn't stop, then consult a doctor and find out what is causing this.

Why do my feet and legs hurt so much ?

Hello,

First of all I am sorry that you have this soreness/pain which prevents you from working/walking normally.

It is difficult to say at this point what you are suffering from, it could be anything from trauma to the foot or even a case of Plantar Fasciitis.

In order to achieve a proper diagnostic please answer these questions:

1) Is it sensitive to the touch/press on it?
2) Do you have high or low arches in your feet?
3) Is there any redness or bruising visible?
4) Where exactly is the pain located in the arch (more towards the heel)?
5) Do you have "extra" pain when you first get up in the morning and take a few steps?
6) Did you start any sport activity lately?

Here are a few things you can do right now:

1) In general you should be completely resting your feet - try to take a couple days off and see if there is some improvement.

2) Ice your feet at least 4 times a day, either by applying ice directly or by rolling a frozen bottle under your heel and arch when you sit down.

3) Massage the area to speed up healing.

4) Wear supportive shoes around the house as well.

5) Avoid standing on hard surfaces, you can buy a rug or some sort of padding to put on the floor where you work.

Again, if you can answer my questions I would be happy to assist you further.

You can write to me directly if you prefer, my email is in my Yahoo profile or itaiw@yahoo.com

Why do my legs hurt so much after I do squats?

Hello, your legs hurt because, maybe it has been a long time since your muscles have worked against resistance. Could be the lactic acid build-up [ after the fact ] within muscle tissues. Kinda like someone training for a race, in the beginning he /she will be gaspping for air. As their muscles adapt and the person learns how-to breathe, the runner will be able to go on longer. Otherwise.Keep on truckin’…& good luck in the future!!

Why do my legs hurt so bad while running?

A few reasons:You are running too much too fast way too soon. You need to slowly ease into running after not running for one year. Make sure you are not running on concrete but on a well patted track or road. Always warm up your legs properly for at least 5 min by doing mobility dynamic stretches. You can try this 5 min complete mobility warmup for your legs before you run: 4. Make sure that you are wearing proper foot wears.5. Make sure you foam roll your legs after you run and also spend at least 4 to 5 min to perform static stretch cool down to properly recover your legs muscles. Hopefully this helps :-)

Why do my legs hurt so much after track practice?

I just joined track around 3 weeks ago, and it's been KILLING me. I have trouble walking because my knees feel like they'll buckle at any moment. My shins and lower calves also burn every time I make contact with the ground. Not to mention my hamstrings are sore and tired.

Also, immediately after I finish a sprint my legs will be BURNING. It's not fatigue or soreness, it's BURNING. Even if I sit down and stretch them they just continue to burn, and it's makes it extremely difficult to move. And do note that this is after just one or two sprints.

So my question is why does this happen to me? I can squat almost twice my body weight, I can do lunges with 25 pound weights in each hand, and my vertical jump is above 25 inches. So why do my legs always hurt?

I'm a sprinter if that means anything. On the genetic tree my dad was a 100m and 200m sprinter. He did the 100 and 400 hurdles and long jump and high jump. He was third fastest at his college.
My grandma was a 400 and 800 hurdler. She was second in her college. So shouldn't these genes be passed on to me? I mean, even if I got the worst of my genes, my mom was a dancer and has some mean calves :P

Also, I'm 14 if that matters.

Why do my legs hurt the day after bowling?

This is most likely because you don't go bowling regularly, so when you go bowling you are working/using muscles that you do not usually work day to day, nothing to worry about, you should be back to normal in a day or so.
